No, it can't be! I just sent you back to the future!

Check out what we found on Amazon Instant Video and iTunes tonight! Looks like Time Travel Mater is available for download! Though according to these prices, I'd bet most people pay the $1.99 to Amazon and not $19.99 to iTunes... ;) (No knowledge on this, but it seems like a typo.) This was news to me, as was the poster image they used...Mater, McQueen, and Stanley, from one of my shots! Check out the poster, in all its low-res glory!

Also, I can't believe I missed the opportunity to use a Back to the Future reference when posting the broadcast date/time for this short. It was aired on a Saturday night...so ya know...something like "Next Saturday night, we're sending you back--to the future!" would have worked. Alas, that time has passed.

Oh, but if you missed it on ABC, and you get Disney Channel, check the schedule and set your DVR. I think I read online that it will be airing multiple times throughout the week.

About Me

I've been animating professionally since 2005, having started out freelancing at various places in New York, including Nathan Love, Psyop, Framestore NY, and Blue Sky Studios. In recent years I was on the team at Pixar Canada, where I worked on Toy Story and Cars Toons, and afterwards worked at Walt Disney Animation Studios on Big Hero 6.

This blog was originally created to help people who are getting into animation freelance to learn the unique and largely unknown ins and outs about how it works in New York. Since I'm no longer there, I'm leaving that information up under the "Freelancer's Guide" post label, but note that some of it may be a bit outdated with many places hiring "freelance" help through companies like MBO and Yocour.
